ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Splice holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Splice has 429K ratings behind it against 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Splice's written reviews are positive against 73% of Slideshow Maker & Creator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Splice ships an update fortnightly, Slideshow Maker & Creator monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 1, 2026 respectively.
